The day starts off a bit shaky as the moon forms an opposition with Venus. But thankfully, two watery lunar trines are promoting emotional harmony. Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are the real MVPs today!
The Moon Is Opposite Venus at 5:48 AM
Early this morning, the moon — who is at home in sensitive Cancer — forms an opposition with Venus in tense Capricorn. Under this opposition, our emotions are intense, but we are having trouble communicating them.
The moon rules our emotions and when the moon is in Cancer, we feel empathetic and compassionate. But we can also feel overwhelmingly moody. Venus rules our self-gratification. When Venus is in Capricorn, we gain satisfaction from our own self-discipline. But during this transit, our inability to relax hinders us from taking pleasure in anything.
When these signs oppose each other, we may have passionate urges, but we feel restrained and unable to act on them. This restraint can lead to dissatisfaction which then may lead to disputes with our loved ones.
Though it may be difficult, open communication is the key to combating this discontent. Our friends and partners can not help us feel safe and secure if we do not open up to them about how we feel. Talk it out, but don’t forget to listen as well.
The Moon Is Trine Mars at 7:23 AM
A couple of hours later, the moon in Cancer forms a powerful trine with Mars in Scorpio. These water signs are working in harmony to nourish our willpower. Scorpio is giving us the courage we need to confront the challenges that may seem impossible to overcome. Meanwhile, Cancer is helping us solve our problems creatively.
Under this placement, we value truth above all else. We are honest with those around us and we expect others to be honest with us as well. You can keep the lines of communication open by being open and tactful with your loved ones and colleagues.
The Moon Is Trine Neptune at 3:47 PM
Later in the day, the moon in Cancer forms a trine with creative Pisces. With both of these celestial bodies at home in their respective signs, our imaginations reawaken. These watery signs are nourishing our spirits.
Under the lunar Cancer, we are overwhelmed with empathy for our fellow humans as well as ourselves. While dreamy Pisces is filling us with an intense need to consume and create art. Our heightened empathy and artistic desires are driving us to create something that can help inspire others.
